Is Bo Nix Oregon’s Best Football Player Ever?
I will also interject that we need to verify total minutes played. Several games that MM played he was pulled after the first series in the 3rd. Bo is great but I will also give the nod to MM. My favorite player is Jeremiah Masoli--he was fun to watch!

Michigan vs. Washington CFP Championship Pre-game Discussion
I will be rooting for Michigan! The Fuskies and their fans are already insufferable.

Lanning Will Need to be B1G in Year 3
We already know that DL has a top 10 recruiting class. Replacing talent has happened and will likely continue. His next task is to beat the Fuskies. Out recruiting hasn't equated to out coaching yet. On a side note: the four new B1G teams are 4-0 in bowl games! Like someone else said, at least two teams from the pac are going to be in the teir 1 group of the B1G next season and all for will be in the top half of the B1G!

Rose Bowl Thread: Alabama vs. Michigan
I will always root AGAINST the SEC and the Mickey Mouse network! Are they dominant? Yes. Do they play anyone outside their conference that may potentially beat them in a home-n-home series? Hardly ever. Why? To keep up the mystique. The one rule should be the top conferences should play other top conferences in the pre-season if they are to be considered for the playoffs. This includes OBD. Scheduling lower teir teams should be a knock against a team. The caveat is there are plenty of crap teams in the top conferences!

GameDay Thread versus Liberty: Join Us!
Bo looks like he is playing within himself...much better expression on the first drive of the game.

GameDay Thread versus Liberty: Join Us!
I forget whoch bowl game it was but there was a really bad call from the refs and one of the commentators said their Pac12 refs. It's bad when even the commentators point out how crappy the Pac12 refs are!! Hopefully the B1G actually let go and crappy refs...Let's GO DUCKS! OOOOOOO

Fiesta Bowl: Will the First Quarter Tell the Tale?
If the cameras show Bo's face on the first offensive possession it will signal what type of game it will be. I don't know if anyone else noticed his face on the first possession in the Pac12 championship game? What I saw on his face in that possession was the look of sheer terror--how he used to look when he played for Auburn his 2nd and 3rd year. That look signaled, to me, that it was going to be a rough night for OBD on offense. As Bo goes so shall OBD. Let's GO DUCKS!

Hawaii Game In Doubt?
That would suck. I was planning a little Hawaii time culminating in attending this game. I can still vacation if the game doesn't happen. Go Ducks!

An Oregon National Championship: 'I STILL BELIEVE,' Do You?
I still believe. OBD has been inching closer to the top and I'm glad I am alive for this ride! DL is a beast! The passion he shows, his hiring acumen, and his will to win are all top notch. Give him a couple of years of learning and the B1G will be sorry that they were talked into taking OBD! The freight train is just leaving the station.

Ashamed of Your Ugly Fan Transformation?
You and I are of the same mindset Charles! For nearly the quarter of a century Oregon has carried the torch for the Pac-12 in Football but have also contributed on the basketball court. We have a major donor but season ticket holders have continued to buy and support the team. I have more gear from the bookstore than I can wear without looking like the little brother from a Christmas Story. I still give money to UO. I work with more Beavis than I care to and hear all their whining. Oddly they haven't said a word all this week?? They don't "deserve" all the money that was made for the 23-24 season. They can have the divided share. They can have the media money from the Pac-12 network after this season but don't ask Ducks to feel sorry for you because your school chose to invest all the money from the last quarter century on everything but your money making sports!

Official College Football Playoff Rankings No. 5
So the narrative, all year, is B1G has the two best teams, the Pac is the best conference, and Georgia looks beatable but still #1. I question all the narratives that the AP, coaches poll, and the CFP. If they wanted to they could change it all up and say the Pac, B1G, and the Big12 is crap and only the SEC and ACC are worth a damn--like the last 10 years. The Pac is only getting the "respect" because Fox and ESPN were colluding to destroy it. Now that it has been destroyed they changed the narrative. I guarantee that top to bottom the Pac had just as good a league as all the other leagues! Now, I hope UO and UW take down the B1G every year!

Big Recruiting Push for 2024 Class Coming Up
Up until Willie and Mari-no-O I was happy with a top 25 recruiting class! Now we know that recruits will go to a place where they're coveted and their egos are massaged! Lanning and crew are doing an amazing job! But their recruiting doesn't stop after the signatures, they show the young men that they are worth the effort and coached up!! Let's GO DUCKS!!

Oregon Opens as 9.5 Point Favorite in Pac-12 Championship Game
That is a shock to me! Franklin is in the top 4 but got snubbed! I still believe that he IS the best receiver in the nation!

Just in: Smith leaving OSU for Michigan State!
"Former president Ed Ray a chief enabler of the failed Pac-12 policies that created this mess. More than anyone else connected to OSU over the past 6-8 years, he bears responsibility." Wilner and most of us here know hiring Larry was the beginning of the end for the Pac. You can lay the blame at those feet.

Jonathan Smith...STAY With the Beavers!
The next domino is Deboer going to A&M! OBD to the Rose Bowl!!

Civil War Was Sweet, yet Crap to Our Stats
The middle school team in Oregon that took UW all four quarters to beat but was such a quality win over a top 15 team... OBD just beat some lame team dressed up for Halloween...time for the pundits to chime in.

Jonathan Smith...STAY With the Beavers!
I heard that last night from Fougs and Beavis fans! How OBD should have taken them with UW...because they shouldn't be left behind. The entitlement that was spewing out of their mouths was sickening. I said at least WSU invested in football before last year. That entitlement carries over to the money they want to steal from the rest of the pac. I hope Smith goes to MSU! Then the Beavis will totally implode into obscurity they way their school administration strategies led them.

Are Oregon's Corners Too Physical for the Pac-12?
Pac refs should just start applying for middle school games because they're just good enough to make that cut!
